| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Bacteria, which play an important role in carrying and transferring antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) in activated sludge process, were separated by incubation of sludge samples from wastewater treatment plants in Bangkok, Thailand, in the presence of antibiotics at a high concentration, followed by identification using next-generation sequencing technique. Percentage of Enterobacteriaceae clearly increased when sludge samples from 3 plants treating municipal wastewater were incubated with amoxicillin, ampicillin or ciprofloxacin, which demonstrates the presence of resistant bacteria belonging to this family. Similar results were obtained for sludge samples from hospital and university wastewater treatment plants. Expression level of ARGs (qnrS and sul1) relative to the total bacteriological activity was higher in the treatment process than in the influent, although it was not significantly correlated with response to stresses such as increased concentration of oxygen or antibiotics.
